Responding to the suspicion of the killing of Kaab bin Al-Ashraf in detail

 The response to this slander is:

First: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not betray Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf, but rather Ka’b was the one who betrayed the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and broke the covenant of Medina that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, concluded with the people of Medina when he first arrived there after the migration, by going to Mecca and inciting the infidels of Quraysh against the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and satirizing him and the Muslims, and his allegiance to Quraysh after the Battle of Badr, so his killing was retribution from a traitor, inciter, and covenant-breaker .

1. The Covenant of Medina, which was concluded by the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, when he arrived in Medina .
Sahih Muslim, Part Two, Book of Emancipation, Chapter on the Prohibition of a Freed Man Taking Over Others than His Own Freedmen
1507 Muhammad ibn Rafi’ told me, Abd al-Razzaq told us, Ibn Jurayj told us, Abu al-Zubayr told me that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, wrote down the blood money of every tribe, then he wrote that it is not permissible for a Muslim to take over the freedman of a Muslim man without his permission. Then I was informed that he cursed in his document whoever did that.

We read from the drawn sword against the one who insults the Messenger, Part One:
((That is because there were three types of Jews around Medina, namely: Banu Qaynuqa’, Banu Nadir, and Banu Qurayzah. Banu Qaynuqa’ and Nadir were allies of the Khazraj, and Qurayzah were allies of the Aws. So when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, came, he made a truce with them and made peace with them, while acknowledging them and those polytheists who were around Medina who were allies of the Ansar, on their alliance and covenant that they had, to the point that he made a covenant with the Jews that they would help him if he fought, then he broke the covenant with Banu Qaynuqa’, then Nadir, then Qurayzah.... This document is well-known among scholars. Muslim narrated in his Sahih on the authority of Jabir, who said: The Messenger of God wrote on every tribe its blood money, then he wrote that it is not permissible for a Muslim man to follow him without his permission. He explained in it that whoever follows the Muslims from the Jews will be granted victory. The meaning of following is making peace with him and not fighting him, not following in religion, as he explained in the middle of the document. So whoever resided in Medina and opposed it, except fighting the Jews, was included in this. ))

2. Kaab bin Ashraf broke the covenant.
We read from Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book of Military Expeditions,
Chapter on the killing of Kaab bin Ashraf
3811. Ali bin Abdullah narrated to us. Sufyan narrated to us. Amr said: I heard Jabir bin Abdullah, may God be pleased with them both, say: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Who will deal with Kaab bin Ashraf? He has harmed God and His Messenger . Muhammad bin Maslama stood up and said: O Messenger of God, do you want me to kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Then give me permission to say something. He said: Say. Muhammad bin Maslama came to him and said: This man has asked us for charity and has troubled us. I have come to you to borrow from you. He said: And also, by God, you will tire of him. He said: We have followed him and do not want to leave him until we see what happens to his situation. We wanted to...

And we read from Sunan Abi Dawud, Book of Land Tax, Emirate, and Booty
[3000] Muhammad bin Yahya bin Faris narrated to us that Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ narrated to them. He said: Shu’aib narrated to us from Al-Zuhri from Abd Al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Kaab bin Malik from his father. He was one of the three who repented . Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf satirized the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and incited the infidels of Quraysh against him. When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, arrived in Medina, its people were a mixture of Muslims, polytheists, and Jews. They used to harm the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions. So God Almighty commanded His Prophet to be patient and forgiving. It was about them that God revealed (And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you) the verse. When Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf refused to stop harming the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered Sa'd ibn Mu'adh to send a group to kill him. So he sent Muhammad ibn Maslama and mentioned the story of his killing. When they killed him, the Jews and polytheists were alarmed, so they went to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Our companion was killed." So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, mentioned to them what he used to say, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, called on them to write a document between him and them and the Muslims in general.
And Imam Al-Albani, may God have mercy on him, said in Sahih and Da’if Sunan Abi Dawud: (( Sahih Al-Isnad ))

and in Al-Sunan Al-Kubra of Al-Bayhaqi
, Book of Biographies (18060) Abu Bakr Ahmad bin Al-Hasan Al-Qadi informed us, Abu Sahl bin Ziyad Al-Qattan informed us, Abdul Karim bin Al-Haitham informed us, Abu Al-Yaman informed us, Shu’aib informed me, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah bin Ka’b bin Malik informed me, I think on the authority of his father - and he was the son of one of the three who repented - that Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf the Jew was a poet, and he used to satirize the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and incite the infidels of Quraysh against him in his poetry. And the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to Medina, and its people were a mixture, among them were Muslims who were united by the call of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and among them were polytheists who worshipped idols, and among them were the Jews, and they were the people of the circle and the fortresses, and they were allies of the two tribes, Aws and Khazraj. So when the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to Medina, he wanted to reform all of them, and a man would be a Muslim, His father was a polytheist, and the man was a Muslim, and his brother was a polytheist. When the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - arrived, the polytheists and Jews of Medina were harming the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - and his companions in the most severe way . So God commanded His Messenger and the Muslims to be patient with that and to forgive them. So God - may His praise be exalted - revealed about them: (And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with God much abuse.) To the end of the verse, and about them God - may He be glorified - revealed: (Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [out of] their own selves [after the truth has become clear to them]. So pardon and overlook.) So when Ka`b ibn al-Ashraf refused to stop harming the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - and the Muslims, the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - ordered Sa`d ibn Mu`adh - may God be pleased with him - to send a group to kill him, so Sa`d ibn Mu`adh sent to him Muhammad ibn Maslamah al-Ansari, Abu `Abs al-Ansari, and al-Harith, the nephew of Sa`d ibn Mu`adh, with five men, and he mentioned the hadith about his killing. He said: When they killed him, the Jews and those polytheists who were with them were terrified; So they went to the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - when morning came, and they said: Our companion, who is one of our masters, was killed last night. So the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - mentioned to them what he used to say in his poems and forbid them from doing. The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - called upon them to write a document between him, them, and the Muslims in which they would stop what was in it. So the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - wrote a document between him, them, and the Muslims for a year, which the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - wrote under the palm branch in the house of Bint Al-Harith. So that document remained after the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - with Ali ibn Abi Talib - may God be pleased with him.

We read from Sahih Ibn Hibban, the book of history, the mention of the polytheists calling the chosen one of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as al-Sunaibir and al-Munbatir. (6572 - Al-Hasan Ibn Sufyan informed us, Muhammad Ibn Bashar informed us, Ibn Abi Uday informed us, he said: Dawud Ibn Abi Hind informed us, on the authority of Ikrimah, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, he said: When Ka`b Ibn al-Ashraf came to Mecca, they came to him, They said: We are the people of watering and custodianship, and you are the master of the people of Yathrib. Are we better or this ignorant man who has been cut off from his people and claims that he is better than us? He said: You are better than him. Then the following verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: “Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off” [Al-Kawthar: 3], and the following verse was revealed: “Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They believe in Jibt and Taghut and say to those who disbelieve, “These are better guided than those who believe in a way.” [An-Nisa’: 51]”
It was authenticated by Sheikh Shu’ayb al-Arna’ut, may God have mercy on him, in his verification of Sahih Ibn Hibban:
(( Its chain of transmission is authentic according to the conditions of Sahih . Ibn Abi ‘Adi: he is Muhammad ibn Ibrahim. At-Tabari included it in “Jami’ al-Bayan” 30/330 on the authority of Muhammad ibn Bashar with this chain of transmission.
At-Tabari (9786) and Al-Bazzar included it as in “Tafsir Ibn Kathir” 4/598 through two chains of transmission on the authority of Ibn Abi ‘Adi, with it. Ibn Kathir said: It is a sound chain of transmission.
Al-Bazzar included it (2293) on the authority of Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali Al-Wasiti, on the authority of Yahya ibn Rashid, on the authority of Dawud ibn Abi Hind, with it.
It was narrated by Al-Tabarani (11645) on the authority of Yunus bin Sulayman Al-Hammal, who said: Sufyan bin Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Amr bin Dinar, on the authority of Ikrimah, with the same chain of transmission.

It was narrated on the authority of Jabir, may God be pleased with him, from the book Ahkam Ahl al-Dhimmah by Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, in the chapter on mentioning the evidence from the Sunnah on the obligation to kill the one who insults the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and to break his covenant, part three:
((Ibn Abi Uways narrated on the authority of Ibrahim bin Ja`far bin Mahmoud bin Muhammad bin Maslama on the authority of his father on the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah that Ka`b bin al-Ashraf made a covenant with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, not to assist him or fight him, and he went to Mecca, then he came to Medina declaring his enmity with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the first thing he said was that he broke his covenant, saying: Go, you have not broken your covenant, and you are leaving Umm al-Fadl in the sanctuary , in verses in which he satirizes him. At that time, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, called for his killing. This is preserved on the authority of Ibn Abi Uways, narrated by al-Khattabi and others, and he said: His saying, “He broke his covenant” means he broke his covenant .)) We read from Fath al-Bari, a commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Military Expeditions: (( His saying: (Chapter on the killing of Ka`b bin al-Ashraf) meaning the Jew. Ibn Ishaq and others said: He was an Arab from Banu Nabhan, who are a clan of Tayy, and he was His father had shed blood in the pre-Islamic era, so he came to Medina and allied himself with Banu Nadir, so he gained honor among them. He married Aqila bint Abi Al-Haqiq, and she bore him Kaab. He was tall and strong, with a large belly and a prominent head. He satirized the Muslims after the Battle of Badr, and went to Mecca and stayed with Ibn Wada’ah Al-Sahmi, the father of Al-Muttalib. Hassan satirized him and his wife Atika bint Asid bin Abi Al-Ays bin Umayya, so she expelled him. Kaab returned to Medina and flirted with the women of the Muslims until he hurt them . Abu Dawud and Al-Tirmidhi narrated on the authority of Al-Zuhri on the authority of Abd Al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Kaab bin Malik on the authority of his father, “ Kaab bin Al-Ashraf was a poet, and he used to satirize the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and incite the infidels of Quraysh against him. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, had come to Medina and its people were a mixture. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, wanted to reform them, and the Jews and polytheists were harming the Muslims severely, so God commanded His Messenger and the Muslims to be patient. When Kaab refused to desist from his harm , the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered Saad bin Muadh to send a group to kill him.” Ibn Saad mentioned that he was killed in Rabi’ Al-Awwal of the third year .

The question is: Was the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, supposed to stand by and watch Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf incite the infidels of Quraysh against him, break his covenant, and satirize the Muslims? Was he supposed to allow a master of the Banu Nadir to go and ally with the people of Mecca and incite them, and perhaps divulge the secrets of the people of Medina and work to satirize the Muslims and flirt with the women of the Muslims??!!!

Second: She accused me of her disease and slipped away. Ehud killed Eglon, king of Moab, by treachery, and Jael killed Sisera while he was sleeping after she had protected him and given him wine to drink !

1. Ehud killed Eglon, king of Moab.

We read from the Book of Judges, Chapter 3:
(( 12 And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and the Lord strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 13 And he gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to him, and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm trees.

14 And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
15 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, and the LORD raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed: and the children of Israel sent by him a present to Eglon king of Moab.
16 So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, and put it on his right thigh under his clothes.
17 And he brought the present to Eglon king of Moab, for Eglon was a very fat man.
18 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of presenting the gift, that
he sent away the men that brought the gift. 19 And he himself returned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he said, “Hush.” And all those who stood by him went out from him.
20 Then Ehud came in to him, and he was sitting in a cool upper room that was his own. And Ehud said, “I have a word from God to you.” And he rose from the seat.
21 Then Ehud stretched out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.
22 And the hilt also went in behind the blade, and the fat closed behind the blade, because he did not draw the sword from his belly. And he came out of the pit.
23 Then Ehud went out of the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room behind him, and locked them.
24 And when he was gone out, his servants came and looked, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were shut; and they said, He has covered his feet in the room of the blankets.
25 And they tarried so long that they were ashamed, and behold, he would not open the doors of the upper room.
26 But Ehud escaped, while they were astonished, and passed through the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
27 And it came to pass, as he came, that he blew the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel came down with him from the hill country, while he was before them.
28 Then he said to them, “Follow me, for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they went down after him and took the fords of the Jordan to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.
29 So they killed at that time about ten thousand Moabites, all the active men and all the valiant men, and not one escaped.
30 So the Moabites were subdued that day under the hand of Israel, and the land had rest eighty years.

2. Jael killed Sisera while he was sleeping after he had protected him.

Judges 4:14 Then
Deborah said to Barak, “Arise, for this is the day that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men followed him
. 15 And the LORD discomfited Sisera and all the chariots and all the army with the edge of the sword before Barak. Then Sisera got down from the chariot and fled on foot
. 16 And Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth of the Gentiles. And all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.
17 But Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite
, for there had been peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite
. 18 Then Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not be afraid.” So he turned in to her into the tent, and she covered him with the blanket .
19 Then he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened the cup of milk and gave him a drink, then covered him.
20 Then he said to her: Stand at the door of the tent, and if someone comes and asks you: Is there a man here? You will say: No.

21So Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, put the knife in her hand, and went to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went into the ground. He was heavy in sleep and tired , and he died .

22 And behold, Barak pursued Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And he came unto her, and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temple.
23 And God humbled Jabin king of Canaan that day before the children of Israel.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel increased and became cruel against Jabin king of Canaan, until they cut off Jabin king of Canaan.

And behold, Jael receiveth her thirsty guest, and there is an oath between her family and him; and she maketh him drunk, so that he sleepeth, and she killeth him while he sleepeth. And God thereby gave victory to the children of Israel, and humbled Canaan.

This act was met with by Jael, and the church did not deny it. On the contrary, Jael represents the church, and her strike represents the teachings of the church and the Christian faith, even if she deceived Sisera with lies and killed him while he was asleep!!!

We read from the interpretation of Tadris Malti:
((The word “Jael” means (ibex), i.e. a type of mountain goat.

Jael, as we said, represents the Church of the Gentiles . She was previously a mountain dweller living in the desert, she and her husband in alliance with Sisera (Satan). Now, when Sisera went to her tent without her husband’s tent, realizing that no one could enter this tent if she denied that anyone was hosting her because she was a woman. The strange thing is that he found her coming out to receive him with words that seemed very nice, even though she had deceived him with lies and killed him, which is contrary to the duties of hospitality . Perhaps Jael did this not of herself, but through an announcement in one way or another, because Sisera was an ally of her husband, and in this she represented the Church that came out of her old tent or her old man in order to appear as if she was receiving Sisera, so she kills Satan from her life and her tent becomes a grave for the enemy and a sanctuary for the Lord. In other words, if the tent represents the body that hosted Satan with its lusts, then through divine grace man declares his denial of the enemy of goodness and all his works, so the body that kills lusts and carries the Spirit of the Lord within it becomes sanctified.

Sisera asked for a little water to make it seem that he did not covet anything and that her hosting him and saving his life would suffice. She gave him milk from a trough, which is usually made of leather in which milk is placed and ferments... as if she had intoxicated him until he fell asleep with extreme fatigue and exhaustion, and thus her plan was fulfilled. This milk is nothing but the teachings of faith that quench the soul of the believer and intoxicate it with the love of God, but it is deadly and destructive to Satan.

Sisera is killed by the hand of a woman with a wooden stake in her hand, as she walked towards him (she walked towards him on the tips of her toes), to strike him with the stake in his temple so that it would penetrate the ground while he was heavy asleep and he would die [11]. In other words, the desires of Satan are fulfilled in us by the hand of the Church, the bride of Christ, who carries the cross (the stake), lightly and quickly striking Satan in his head, that is, at the beginning of his thoughts while he is still heavy asleep before he enters with his thoughts into the depths to awaken and take possession. Let us strike with the cross in his temple, that is, let us reject his thoughts and crucify them so that our depths may be purified for the sake of the Lord. ...))
